Chapter 981: Chapter 640 Listening to Officer Shen_2

Only because beneath it, a more dazzling golden light unfolded like clouds rolling across the sky.

Toweringly high in the clouds, a majestic figure started to appear.

Surrounded by several Immortal Officials, the figure became increasingly clear—a towering ten Zhang tall, his entire body radiating like flowing gold—he was a true Immortal God!

The moment he looked down upon the mortal world, all beings instinctively prostrated themselves in worship.

This included the group at the peak of White Cloud Mountain, those Cultivators with robust auras, and the Old Sect Master who had already reached the True Immortal Realm. His face flushed with excitement, he lifted his robes and bowed deeply with utmost respect.

"White Cloud Cave respectfully welcomes the descent of the Superior Immortal!"

Enhanced by vast Cultivation, this statement resonated like a grand bell, spreading throughout the lands of the three prefectures.

Apart from expressing reverence to the Superior Immortal, it also served to deter other forces on this occasion, signaling that White Cloud Cave could still directly communicate with the heavens and even receive the Immortal Court’s rewards.

"This looks like a True God..."

The Cultivators whispered among themselves with their heads lowered, finding it quite extraordinary.

They say the Three Immortals Sect jointly governs the Immortal Court, but in reality, there are differences among these three major Sects.

Both the Three Immortals Sect and the Bodhi Sect consist of predecessors who started as mortals and cultivated step by step to become Immortal Gods. Though called Immortal Gods, in these Cultivators’ eyes, they are no different from themselves, merely possessing stronger Cultivation and higher status.

Looking at such Immortal Officials, they could just about muster the spirit of "a true man should aspire to be like this."

But the True God Sect was different.

Most beings within this sect were Innate Gods and Demons born at the beginning of heaven and earth, with the occasional ones transformed later. Thus, the Immortal Records’ classification from Ninth Grade to First Grade was based on them.

Even if their bodies perished, as long as their True Spirits did not extinguish, they could reconvene a divine body, almost as if they were incarnations of the laws of heaven.

Utterly righteous and fair.

The True God Sect was indeed the most stable component of the Immortal Court.

The so-called "Immortal Gods," Cultivators may become Immortals, but they represent the "God" in the term.

However... there are rarely beings of the Seventh Grade in the True God Sect.

Witnessing a True God descending to the mortal realm was far more exhilarating than seeing several Immortal Officials.

As the "True God" took out a Jade Decree and began to recite, his sonorous immortal voice circled around White Cloud Mountain, lingering for a long time.

Meanwhile.

The carriage stopped by the roadside, its cabin already empty.

A nondescript corner of White Cloud Mountain.

"Envious, are you?"

Mei Jiyao sighed as she withdrew her gaze, teasingly said, "Do you, Officer Meng, also want to ascend to the heavens and take an official seat? With your strength, holding the White Rhinoceros Seal should be no problem."

"Heh."

Meng Xiuwen silently stared at the figure in the sky, and while he would be lying if he said he wasn’t envious, from the moment he stepped through the gates of the Demon Slayer Bureau, his group was destined to wander in darkness like solitary ghosts, never again to have such flamboyant moments.

He was looking intently because this was a True God, undying and eternal. Once discovered by the other party, it would be impossible to deceive them with any other means.

That meant that today, his group had probably come in vain, for even if they did find something, there was hardly any other outcome besides igniting a bellyful of anger.

"..."

Although Mei Jiyao was jesting, she had been quietly observing the young man in black beside her.

Even someone like Ye Jing had to keep looking, and her sister was a genuine Immortal who had plucked the Taiyi Dao Fruit. Only due to other reasons had she joined the Demon Slayer Bureau.

Yet this young fellow managed to stay so composed, never once glancing excessively towards the sky from beginning to end.

Such a temperament surprisingly fit well with the Demon Slayer Bureau’s unspoken ethos.

The group waited for a moment.

Slight ripples emerged on the Sect Array in front of them.

A woman with a serene appearance stepped forward, nodded towards Mei Jiyao and Meng Xiuwen, "The boss has already got a rough idea; both of you, come have a look and discuss how to handle it."

After speaking, she took out a token, turned, and opened a pathway.

"You’ve done well, eh? You’ve only been here a few days, and already got your hands on an entry token for the Sect Array."

Meng Xiuwen smacked his lips, looking at this maiden under her command, who was much stronger than the one he had brought.

Ye Jing clearly detected Officer Meng’s implications and pouted with a touch of grievance, looking elsewhere.

"..."

Shen Yi followed along, thinking about the incident at the Jade Dragon Sect; he felt that occasionally, Officer Meng should also look for reasons within himself and the other party.

That exaggerated performance really left much to be desired.

Following the serene woman, they effortlessly entered White Cloud Cave.

Perhaps everyone’s attention was captivated by the magnificent Golden Body in the sky, and no one expected fools to cause trouble right under the nose of a True God; the defenses of the entire White Cloud Cave became relaxed.

After winding around a few times.

They finally crossed several hills and came to a deep cliff in the inner depths of the White Cloud Cave.

A man with a square face and short, stiff black beard sat indifferently on the cliff edge, overlooking below the monstrous *Golden Jade Ancient Tree* enmeshing its limbs over the ravine, clinging tightly to the cliffside, dominating the entire Abyss!

A thin golden film resembling both sand and clay enveloped the tree’s body.

This was the golden jade sand that White Cloud Cave each year offered up to the heavenly court, which also served as a bargaining chip for favors from the Immortal Court.

As an ingredient, this substance was excellent for refining Immortal Pills and could also be used for crafting treasures to great effect.

But its yield was not excessively high.

"What’s the actual situation?"

Mei Jiyao strode forward briskly; the bearded man silently turned back, glanced at everyone, then stood up and plunged straight down the cliff.
